DC's "Forever Evil" Event

So anyone else started following the "Forever Evil" story arc that started this week? Trinity War was kind of boring to me, but I love what it led up to. The introduction of the Crime Syndicate has been pretty cool so far, and I love how this sets things up. Villains vs villains.

I do hope we get some more background on the Syndicate to understand they they differ from the Earth Prime counter parts. Maybe an origins story for each of them would be kinda cool.

I'm just really tired of the relentlessly grim new 52. The whole thing feels like someone said, let's go back to when comics sold really well in the 90s, copy what they did - but make it even darker and more x-treme!

my thought on why I didn't like flashpoint. Anyone can write violence. Once you see the first hero die, the shock value wears off... ho hum, at the end, everyone is dead and time travel un does it all... yawn...

I agree. I hate cross-overs. I just want to read my Justice League Dark series and instead of dark magic fantasy, I get costumed super heroes and a story I have no interest in investing in, through time or money.

whatever happened to just fun stand alone adventures?

I miss the Jim Shooter days at Marvel. The best comic book era ever - with so many books that still read very strong today (and hold up much better than most things from the 90s and 00s).
